Jazmin loves homemade dog bones- I use a bone shaped cookie cutter from michael's craft store: I vary the amounts based on how much im making but after all is said and done its a thick dough that is easily rolled out and cut to make shapes. I dont measure, i go through my kitchen and dump items into the bowl.

Jazzy Bones:
Flour
Quick oats
Peanut butter
Ground flax seed ( small amount)
Vegetable oil
water if needed to mix the dough

If i dont make the peanut butter bones then i put in steak chunks from leftovers, with the steak juices and fat, parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese.

I have a Costco business center near me and they put their beef roasts on sale for under 2 bucks a pound. I buy a 20-25 bucker and cut out the 2 best parts for me and cut the rest up and freeze it in snack bags. Tony just loves these pieces raw and I am not kidding you, you had better watch your fingers when feeding this to them. One little snack bag lasts 2 days and the raw meat is really good for them. Waiting for one of these treats, look at those eyes.

So I read somewhere on here a recipe on meat crunches using stew meat-- but when I went to the store today the cheapest meat I could find was heart--So I bought it (1.98 lb) cut it up into 1/4' cubes and followed the directions for cooking..My question-perhaps too late--Is this gonna be ok for my dogs? I gave them each a couple of bites and they loved it..but it seems awful rich..any advise would be helpful--At this point I have quite a lot of this for treats--Maybe like almost 2 cups--I guess I should keep this in the fridge? Thanks in advance for your comments...I will be giving this to my dogs but what ever ya'll tell me will determine how often I will give it to them.

Dehydrated liver is the favorite here. You can use a dehydrator or cook at a low temp in the oven for a long time until the liver is leathery. Refrigerate and it will keep a long time.

Sure, it is a muscle meat and any muscle meat is very good for dogs.

My grandfather has chickens and my neighbors hunt deer. So when either has extra meat they give it to me. I found these really cool seasonings made specifically for dogs and I cook up the meat with them (bake them usually) and then I use them for training and for special meals (:
